The Wires in My Sister's Head

By Sally Ann Chan

I wish I could have been joking when I called my sister crazy. Mary should be fulfilling life's grand phase of getting married and having children by now. But Mary cannot do that because she believes she has used up her 'quota' of life's miracles when her prayers were finally answered in 1990 in the form of a baby sister, Betty. Betty is the perfect reason for Mary to live. She seems to be made for greatness until one day, Mary starts to realise that her baby sister isn't as normal a sister as one would expect. Betty begins having a haywire range of mood swings that Mary cannot comprehend. Betty becomes darkly dramatic and suicidal. She continues towards promiscuity, alcoholism and self-harm threats that worsen with time. Mary has to hang onto her sanity and find another reason to live as Betty challenges her cruelly. Desperately, Mary tries-together with Betty's boyfriend, Emir-to save her sister from the hell she's living in. But ultimately, Mary has to face the harsh truth that her sister has a mental disorder called Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or as the common man puts it, 'crazy'.
